“…Result showed that laboratory‐based learning improves ability to design and conduct an experiment, thereby encouraging students to convey research methods in order to solve problems and think possibilities within LCC framework as described by Craft . This study supports finding from Tarhan and Ayyıldız that solving problem together increases academic achievement and improves skills for creative thinking. Laboratory‐based learning also introduces necessary skills and performances ranging from laboratory techniques, research designing, and academic writing .…”

“…Solving problem together in practical coursework, as Tarhan and Ayyıldız presents, improves skills for creative thinking by critically evaluates choices and multiple resources. Students viewed that DNA extraction activity made them could brainstorm multiple ideas ( fluency ), modify their own DNA extraction ( flexibility ), analyse problem, raise original ideas for problem‐solving ( originality ), and make connections throughout the prior knowledge ( elaboration ).…”

Subject material concerning Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) structure in the format of creativity-driven laboratory practice offers meaningful learning experience to the students. Therefore, a laboratory practice in which utilizes simple procedures and easy-safe-affordable household materials should be promoted to students to develop their creativity. This study aimed to examine whether designing and conducting DNA extraction with household materials could foster students' creative thinking. We also described how this laboratory practice affected students' knowledge and views. A total of 47 students participated in this study. These students were grouped and asked to utilize available household materials and modify procedures using hands-on worksheet. Result showed that this approach encouraged creative thinking as well as improved subject-related knowledge. Students also demonstrated positive views about content knowledge, social skills, and creative thinking skills. This study implies that extracting DNA with household materials is able to develop content knowledge, social skills, and creative thinking of the students. © 2016 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 45(3):216-225, 2017.

A Bioquímica é uma ciência essencial, que trata das bases químicas da vida estudada em várias áreas. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a opinião de estudantes quanto à disciplina de Bioquímica. Um instrumento, envolvendo questões sobre a disciplina, os professores, a monitoria e uma auto avaliação, foi aplicado para 231 estudantes, os quais já haviam cursado a disciplina, de 12 cursos de graduação, divididos em 3 áreas de conhecimento: Ciências Naturais, da Saúde e Rurais. A maioria dos alunos respondeu que consideram a Bioquímica uma disciplina importante, mas apresentam uma compreensão razoável dos conteúdos, provavelmente por falta de conhecimentos em química. Os alunos consideram a carga horária da disciplina suficiente, mas mal utilizada. O desempenho dos professores foi razoável a bom, mas falta correlação entre as aulas e a atuação profissional do curso, especialmente na Ciência Rural. Este estudo mostrou que as aulas de Bioquímica precisam ser repensadas para as áreas de ação de cada curso, além disso, os pré-conhecimentos básicos dos estudantes deve ser aprimorado.

“…The above is in line with the findings from a previous study which mentioned that the facilitator is more a determining factor than does the role of the trigger chosen in the overall achievement of PBL objectives. 20 This researcher had also observed that after introducing this approach, students had shown some interest on the idea and importance of doing a research and as a result, were well-prepared for carrying out any sort of research in future. Samples of comments are as follows: "I have learnt how to prepare a good report and how we must focus on every detail as even a simple mistake can ruin our research".…”

The objective of this research is to study the outcomes and benefits of using the ProblemBased Laboratory (PBLab) approach as an alternative to the traditionally-practised, supervisor-based research projects; in essence, the PBLab approach aims at finding out if the new approach can enhance or improve students' research experiences, capabilities and leadership qualities when they conduct a research-oriented project in a group. A group of five students in the second year Diploma in Pharmacy programme was involved in the study and key data on the students' performances, perceptions and satisfaction on the PBLab approach were collected by way of participant presentation, report writing, peer assessment, logbook evaluation and analysis of comments about the facilitator for final evaluation. The results of the research done are highly motivating and impressive; through the research, it was noted that the students responded favourably in all their feedback at the end of the project evaluation. In other words, student perception on the completion of the PBLab-based research project, peer learning and supervisor support was found to be positive and encouraging. It can firmly be said that the PBLab approach has a great potential to effectively guide a student's research projects, especially if he is a novice researcher.
